NATO Air Chiefs met at NATO Air Command today on NATO’s 75th Anniversary. Air and Space power are fundamental to NATO’s ability to deter an attack on the Alliance. The nations’ commitment to being ready to fly and fight is impressive.

It was a pleasure to speak at the RUSI Combat Air Power Conference today. Together we are building the technological and industrial foundations that will deter our enemies and protect the UK.

My sincere thanks to all those involved in delivering this vital humanitarian aid: from the air despatchers to the A400M crew, to all those at RAF Brize Norton and RAF Akrotiri who ensured that they were ready. twitter.com/grantshapps/st…

Timing is critical to everything the RAF delivers 24/7. From ensuring each part of an engine moves in sync, to landing an F-35 on a moving carrier, or minimising the time it takes to get a QRA jet airborne, we make every second count twitter.com/RoyalAirForce/…

Thank you to all RAF personnel that played their part in last night’s proportionate and targeted strikes against Houthi targets. Their work has helped further degrade the Houthi’s ability to conduct illegal attacks on international shipping. twitter.com/grantshapps/st…

RAF Typhoons, a Voyager and Rivet Joint crews are honing their skills in the world’s most advanced air combat training exercise . Training with @USAirForce and Royal Australian Air Force in realistic scenarios, ensures that we can fly and fight together.
